Product Description

Valeriana Officinalis Root Extract that is high quality and standardised helps with sleep and stress.

Valeriana Officinalis Root Extract stands out for its significant sleep-promoting and anti-anxiety effects. Its core active component, valeric acid, effectively slows the breakdown of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. Unlike synthetic sedatives, this natural substance improves sleep structure without causing morning hangovers or dependency.

Shaanxi Hongda's valerian root extract powder is made from carefully selected three-year-old premium valerian roots from prime growing regions. We employ a core "low-temperature ultrasonic synergistic countercurrent extraction + activity fingerprint spectroscopy control" technology to ensure valeric acid content remains within the golden range of 0.4% - 0.8% (HPLC). Also, a special technique takes care of the problem of its "pungent odor." We test our products to make sure they are very effective, safe, and fulfill World Health Organization (WHO) standards. Valerian root extract is used by pharmaceutical businesses all over the world to make herbal supplements, functional drinks, and sleep aids that don't need a prescription.

Where to buy valerian root extract?

Shaanxi Hongda's valerian extract powder is dark brown powder. We use carbon dioxide supercritical extraction technology to make it rich in a variety of bioactive compounds (valeric acid, valeric acid salts). The entire product production process is clean and meets international standards.

Key Advantages:

Extremely High Valerenic Acid Activity:

Hongda performs batch-to-batch HPLC quantitative analysis to ensure the precise proportions of the core components, valerenic acid and acetoxyvalerenic acid, meet standards.

Exclusive Flavor Improvement and Odor Removal Technology:

Through a multi-stage resin adsorption process, we significantly reduce pungent odors while preserving activity, eliminating the need for excessive artificial masking agents in your finished product formulation.

100% Source Authenticity and Heavy Metal Elimination:

Hongda adheres to the latest EU EC No 396/2005 pesticide residue standards, using ICP-MS to ensure lead, arsenic, and mercury content is controlled below 0.1 ppm.

FAQ

Q: How do you balance the activity and odor of valerian?

A: We use low-temperature chromatography separation technology. This effectively separates the low-molecular-weight volatile acids that cause unpleasant odors, while precisely retaining the high-molecular-weight active component, valerenoic acid. This makes our products both potent and have better sensory appeal.

Q: Is 0.8% valerenoic acid the highest specification currently available?

A: In the field of natural extraction, 0.8% is the "gold standard" that balances activity and cost-effectiveness. Pursuing a higher percentage may involve chemical fortification. Hongda promises 100% natural extraction with no artificially synthesized active ingredients added.

Q: Is Valeriana Officinalis Root Extract safe to use for a long time?
A: Yes! Clinical trials show that doses up to 900mg/day for 12 weeks don't cause any problems with dependency.

Q: Does it interact with prescription drugs?
A: If you take it with CNS depressants (like benzodiazepines), talk to your doctor.

Q: Can I use it in vegan-certified products?
A: Yes! Our extract is plant-based and cruelty-free.

Q: What papers do you give me?
A: Every order comes with a COA, SDS, Organic Certificates, and GMP Compliance Reports.
